⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics show a second collapse in the networks of Russian tech giant Yandex after a new Ukrainian drone attack on data centers in Vladimir this morning. The campaign comes not long after Russia's threat to give Ukraine a "digital detox."
Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity by provider in Russia from October 6, 2026, to October 11, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents dates and times. The graph indicates connectivity remaining stable in several Yandex owned networks throughout most of the period, before dropping on the early morning of October 8 and the second time on the morning of October 11(Russia time). The disruptions correspond to power outages following Ukranian drone attacks targeting Yandex datacenters.The chart has a dark background with two red circles highlighting the decline at the end of the period, and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner with the Mapping Internet Freedom slogan.

In an interview, Firefox's head says it like it is—Google deprecated its old extension system just to sabotage ad blockers arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...
Text that reads: "So some examples—Chrome went through with their deprecation of Manifest V2. Manifest V2 is basically a much more powerful extension system. And people were like, well, why did this decrease? Why didn’t they just fix the security vulnerabilities in Manifest V2? And it’s very clearly because of ad blockers. That was the reason to deprecate it. Whereas, Mozilla, we’re not maximizing for profits, we’re maximizing for user experience and browser experience, and we want people to have powerful extensions. So we noticed when that shutoff moment happened, there was a moment where people said, do you want the power of an engine to be able to dictate how I control my experience? Because once Chromium shut it off, Edge shut it off, all the Chromium browsers then shut off Manifest V2 support. We still support it, and so we saw a big surge of actual users who started using us."
